From the inside: Sustainability in interiors

Crowley Maritime Corp. is the latest shipper committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.  The Jacksonville, Florida-based company announced it submitted its emissions-reduction targets, which include scope 1 (direct), scope 2 (indirect) and scope 3 (all other) emissions, to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Tuesday.  “On emissions, admittedly this is a bold goal, and we need to ensure our goal and targets are credible. This is why we are submitting our interim targets to reduce emissions through the SBTi, which is the world’s expert on validating companies’ methodologies on emissions targets to include monitoring progress along the way to net-zero,” Alisa Praskovich, vice president of sustainability at Crowley, told FreightWaves.  In October, SBTi released a global standard for setting credible net-zero targets backed by climate science. Crowley is expecting its net-zero target to be approved by SBTi in the next few months.

Following the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2009, Team Ontario/BC’s North House was to travel more than 4,000 km (2,500 mi) to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Unfortunately, the cost of moving and rebuilding the house ultimately prevented this. Instead, North House returned to the University of Waterloo. On June 6, 2013, it reopened at its permanent home at the rare Charitable Research Reserve as a research and outreach facility. Team Ontario/BC—made up of faculty and students from the University of Waterloo, Ryerson University, and Simon Fraser University—collaborated to construct North House for the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2009. Its entry took fourth place in the competition with top-five finishes in seven of the 10 decathlon contests.
